Editorial Review
Slow and steady and always with a smile, Terence is a red tractor with caterpillar tracks who never hesitates whenever an emergency pull is needed. Based on the award-winning PBS television series Shining Time Station by the Rev. W. Awdry, the Thomas the Tank train system is the perfect child's train set. Each wooden vehicle has a different name, character, and face. The magnetic bumpers make linking up easy. Friendly characters will engage your child in hours of imaginary play. Designed to support your child's development, the system encourages the use of new motor and cognitive skills. --Sandy Hirsch

 SLOW SHIPPING December 10, 2005

This item looks ok, but the website was COMPLETELY misleading in saying that it ships within 24 hours. I ordered this on Nov. 27th and did not receive it til Dec. 8th. That's nearly 2 weeks. It may not be worth ordering online even with the free shipping, better to fight the crowds at the stores.
Learning curve customer service is pretty rude September 26, 2005

We got this last night and like everyone else has said, the treads come off almost instantly. I was excited that a previous review said these items have a lifetime guarantee and that if you called Learning Curve's 800 number they would replace it. So, I called them up and the girl who answered was very rude and told me that they couldn't do anything unless it's a manufacturing defect. She said I should take it back to the store I bought it from and get a new one. I told her I bought it from Costco and that they would only have the same kind (the previous reviewer had said they came out with a newer version of Terrence that solved the tread problem). I told her about the newer version and she said in her abrubt and rude manner that as a one time courtesy they could replace it. I looked on their web site and they say they only have a 90 day warranty for manufacturing defects (not normal use etc). Maybe they changed their policy, but I would think twice before purchasing this particular train.
 problems with Terence resolved May 20, 2005

Terence is my two year old son's favorite train from the the Thomas books. We bought him the wooden Terence from a local toy store, only to discover that his treads came off about thirty seconds after he came out of the box. This was a real pain - I put the treads away and let my son use Terence like a regular train, which he didn't mind too much but it was a bit upsetting to pay ten dollars for a toy and then have it be poor in quality.
A few days later, we were at a different toy store and saw that Terence had been redesigned! Unfortunately, the store we had bought him from doesn't do refunds, only exchanges. I went home and called Learning Curve's 800 number, and a very nice customer service lady gave me an address and told me that they would replace my son's Terence with the new one.
I mailed him back, got the new one in a few weeks, and he's GREAT. The treads don't come off, he rolls on plain table, track, and even the carpet wonderfully. My son was very happy as he had wondered what happened to his old Terence.
Learning Curve has a lifetime garuntee on all their products so if you have the old Terence I reccommend giving them a call and they will let you exchange it for a new one (even if you bought it three years ago!).
 Terrence the Tractor - great little guy April 28, 2005
Terrence is probably not made for the track - since he is a tractor and is meant to be used in fields, or for plowing snow. That said, this little guy goes about everywhere in our house and we haven't had any trouble with the tire treads. If your child is prone to pick at such things like mine is, just to see if he can get them off, then I suggest maybe advising otherwise. My little one figured out how to get them off very quickly, but became aggravated that they were not on when he was "plowing the field." So, I put them back on and well, they haven't come off since.
Some neat role playing occurs with Terrence. He just opens new doors for working outside of the track and especially with all the new construction guys that have been introduced lately like Alfie and Jack. Terrence has a lot of fun in our house and he comes highly recommended!
He is not a train, he's a tractor February 22, 2005

I have the new designed model and the treads don't come off. He is not a train and is not meant to run on the track, the road maybe, but more for "off-road". My son likes him, just get the newly designed type.
